BSF Systematic World Equity I2 Cap JPY

The Fund aims to maximise total return in a manner consistent with the principles of environmental, social and governance "ESG" focused investing. The Fund seeks to gain at least 80% of its investments exposure to equity securities of companies domiciled in, or the main business of which is in, developed countries worldwide. This is achieved by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities and other equity-related securities. The Fund may, when determined appropriate, invest in money market instruments (MMIs) (i.e. debt securities with short-term maturities), deposits and cash. The equity-related securities include financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The MMIs may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and may be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness), non-investment grade or unrated at the time of purchase. The Fund will invest in a variety of investment strategies and instruments. In particular, the Fund will use quantitative (i.e. mathematical or statistical) models in order to achieve a systematic (i.e. rule based) approach to stock selection. This means that stocks will be selected based on their ESG outcomes and the expected contribution to portfolio returns when risk and transaction cost forecasts are taken into account. The Fund will take into account environment, social and governance criteria when selecting investments as disclosed in the prospectus. For further details please refer to the prospectus and the BlackRock website at www.blackrock.com/baselinescreens. The Fund may also have indirect exposure (through, including but not limited to, FDIs and other funds) to issuers with exposures that are inconsistent with the IA's ESG analysis. The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments
